"Fairy Carpet"

This listing is for one 100g skein of this wonderful yarn, which is hand dyed in my signature paint brush method- literally painting the colors onto the yarn.

This is a randomly spattered and painted yarn, which means the colors will naturally change as you use this yarn. The colors in this colorway are various shades of green, burgundy, purple, toffee brown, and greys, with tiny pops of yellow and pink.

The default base for this yarn is our Slinky base - 20% Silk, 80% Superwash Merino 2-ply. We typically have multiple skeins in our default base available to ship immediately, while other blends are custom dyed and take 2-3 business days on average to send out.

It is hand dyed in a variegated pattern, which means it has short color changes which will automatically happen as you knit.

Please see the bottom of this listing for a write-up of the other bases available which you can choose from (we have everything from super basic to ultra luxury! We also occasionally carry lace weight and other weights of yarn, but since quantities can fluctuate we rarely have them listed as a default base available. Contact us if you want a yarn weight or base blend that you do not see).

For more detailed information about each base, please see our Yarn Bases page.

Every skein that you receive will look very similar to what you see in the photos, though no two skeins will be perfectly identical due to the way this colorway is dyed and also depending on what base you choose. If you plan to use multiple skeins for a project, please try to buy them all at once so we can make sure they match as closely as possible.

Care:

Superwash merino is special because it is treated in such a way that it will not felt the way normal wool does, so it your stitches will remain crisp. That being said, we still suggest hand washing your item when you finish making it, and laying it flat to dry, just as you would with any hand made item.

As with all hand dyed items, we recommend hand washing your yarn/finished item in cool water and laying it flat to dry. We rinse this yarn until the water runs crystal clear, but small amounts of excess dye may rarely come off with the first couple of washings. If this happens, rest assured that it is only excess dye and should not affect the coloring of your yarn in any way. If a large amount of bleeding ever occurs with any of our items, please contact us so we can make it right. We always recommend hand washing hand made items to preserve the longevity of your beautiful work.
